Well, he is to serve as Riddhe's counterpart (Since they already have the whole Ichika is Banagher deal). And it is a do or die project and he is walking with the prototype mecha

However, he buddies up with Ichika who states that they are hypocrites and fights for the common man to prosper in the new IS world and that the real positions of power still belong to old men. The only difference is the younger male generation is lost.

WHy does it have to be a male rival? Just have an aggressive female (for once that does not fall into the harem plan) M, could be said rival, in her IS, is more than a match as explained in volume 6 events. And this could also shed more light upon the Orimura family development in the process.

Because Ichika is in an absolutely "safe" situation, he needs to aspire to standards like Issei who always had to face male competition. Right now Ichika's Harem is more of a threat to his life than the Golems and Phantom Task. It is time to mix things up with a proverbial "Normal" who develop a zeal vs IS and what they stood for which was the destruction of what worth the average male had in itself and reduced to a "docile hedonistic state". He wishes to force Ichika out of the blissful state to achieve the full potential if possible.

Spoiler for Spoilers on Unicorn:

Like Riddhe, his goal is to find out what is the secret behind the fact he can use an IS and if the means is impossible to replicate, kill Ichika to keep "Pandora's Box" from opening.

A slight change of topic, I need to ask some question regarding canon.

It was said that Silver Gospel was American latest project, and far ahead everyone else. Does this means it was developed inside I.S.A.? Else if it didn't, this means Americans has violated the rules.

And then there's also Fang Quake, explicitly incomplete technology yet used outside I.S.A., does this means in-universe version of USA can screw with international treaty somehow?

I am sure that SG was a joint between israel and america, but it was not developed in ISA.

@asaqe: madoka nearly killed ichika if it weren't for Laura, and she also has the ability to fend off said harem without much trouble. Again, if we go with your idea, it would destroy the whole image of IS is the main mecha, and that Ichika is the only male for reasons STILL unknown, this is the development that needs inquiring. From what I can tell, the author should move away from harem antics, focus more on PT and on Tabane's machinations. All of this can be done without inserting another male, which frankly is like a self insert from the fanfiction thread. /shudders

wasn't it said that he wasn't fired and that nothing would really be said about volume 8 till May?

[Eratas123]

I thought it was April?

[HasuMasu]

For now we can assume it's dead since he's working on something else.

Though I rather think that he'll come back.

[Valky]

Who knows. Maybe if he has enough motivation to continue.

Hello guys! I'm new here. Sorry if my first post is here, cannot find the newcomers introduction(or something along those lines). I just found out this series about half a month ago, and I enjoy it.

Can I ask something? I'm just sorting the timeline here. Chifuyu became an instructor in Germany for a year, right, then how long has she been teaching in IS academy? I'm just thinking that the final plot might be in 3rd Mondo Grosso(if the novels continues *sigh*).

Thank you for the one to answer!

*bows my head 100 times*

P.S.
*sniff* what's that smell? *sniff* waaaaahhhh!!! My rice!!!

[Eratas123]

I'm guessing she's been a teacher for about 1 year or two.

- Rice. You burn rice.

.....

...how do you BURN rice?!? That has got to be the worst rice cooker of all time. In the history of mankind.

Ofcourse you can burn rice, fried rice is cooked on a pan.

I'm using a stove to cook rice, I'm the man in our home that does the housechores(eventhough I also have a part-time work).

@Eratas123: Thank you for answering!

Another question! If it will be 3rd Mondo Grosso, Ichika should be a representative of a country, right, but in the novel it is stated(if I'm right) that Japan is considering in making him a representative candidate, but cannot go to it due to the fact that Tabane got involved in making his IS. How can he join. Another question(sorry for asking too much questions), if he could join in the 3rd Mondo Grosso and if "ever" he won the 1st place, he will be titled a Brunhilde right? I think it will be unbefitting to him, thought of some title? Mine is Siegfried/Sigurd. I want to know your opinion about it. Thank you for the one to answering this introverted chatterbox that always liked to ask questions.

I always thought that Ichika's IS was the same one his sister used. Did that mean she couldn't be a representative?
Your Siegfried/Sigurd is very interesting. The name is very unusual yet awesome!

[Eratas123]

Any person can become a rep for any country so long as they have a personal IS. Nationality isn't a factor considering Tatenashi's at least half Jap and she got offered the Russian rep position. Houki was also asked and she answered she's not sure yet.

Title will most likely be made based on their performance.
